Vote: Who Was Your Winner in the 2011 NBA Dunk Contest?

Blake Griffin won Saturday's Slam Dunk Contest with 68 percent of the fan vote after completing an alley-oop jam over the hood of a Kia. Many, though, would argue that the victory was undeserved, and that Griffin shouldn't have advanced to the final round in the first place.

The Dunk Contest, clearly, doesn't truly judge who does the most exciting, original, well-presented, impressive dunk. It's apparently a popularity contest — with corporate product placement having its role in decision making as well.

So, if Griffin, whose first two dunks were pretty run of the mill as far as the annual contest is concerned, wasn't really deserving of the title, who was?

JaVale McGee is perhaps the most obvious answer. His dunk in the finals, a ridiculous reverse windmill like none ever before seen, was realistically more difficult than Blake's, and his first dunk — or dunks — slamming simultaneously on two baskets, may have been the best of the night. Of course, he also threw down three dunks in one hoop for good measure.

Serge Ibaka, though, probably deserved to advance to the finals with McGee. He mixed the classic with the innovative in his two slams, completing the Julius Erving free-throw line dunk with room to spare as well as being the first competitor ever to bite a toy down from the hoop in the midst of a slam.

Then, there was DeMar DeRozan, whose "Show Stopper" may have been the most artful and technically difficult dunk of the night.
